I just have to talk about this lovely little gallery in the Outer Sunset called Sealevel. It’s this cozy, unpretentious art studio that turns into a community hub at night and on weekends. I’ve gone to open mic nights and songwriter circles there, and they’ve been such a fun, welcoming vibe. It’s a mix of neighbors, artists, musicians. People just showing up to share something creative or just hang out.

I’ve also taken a couple art lessons there from local artists, and it felt so good to make something with my hands again. Jeana, who runs the space, is a wonderful host. Warm, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about building a creative home for the neighborhood. You can really feel the intention behind it all.

The seasonal art shows are always worth a visit too. They feature a bunch of local artists, and the gallery transforms with each one. It’s the kind of place that reminds you how much talent is hiding in plain sight, just waiting for the right space to bloom. Sealevel is definitely one of my favorite little gems in the Sunset.
